Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Greater reflection by scholars and practitioners is required on how to prevent conflict when states perpetrate large-scale violence and massive human rights abuses against their own citizens. Drawing from fieldwork and documentary evidence, the paper is based on a case study undertaken for the International Peace Academy's project "From Promise to Practice: Strengthening UN Capacities for the Prevention of Violent Conflict." It examines the "ethnic clashes" that took place in Western Kenya in 1991-94 and on the coast in 1997 and the donors' weak response to them. It argues that from the beginning Western donors refused to acknowledge publicly that, though the conflicts have been played out in ethnic terms, the cause was fundamentally political, instigated by high-level government officials for partisan purposes, related to the return to multiparty competition. Donors, in particular the UNDP resettlement project, failed to address the fundamental reasons why clash victims left their homes in the first place, the question of prosecution of the perpetrators or the issues of restitution and the victims' safety. Furthermore, by renewing aid to reward modest economic reforms in 1994 and 2000, despite little or no progress in the political sphere, donors signalled that political reform and the respect of human rights was not a priority for them. The fact that violence was usually initiated by pro-government militias has not been taken into account by the various donor-supported, community-based peacebuilding activities. As a result, the goals of reconciliation among ethnic communities and prevention of further conflict are impossible to achieve. Ethnic cleansing re-emerged prior to the 1997 general elections and will recur before the next ones as well, due by the end of 2002.
